In situ polarization modulation infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy (PM-IRRAS) under potential control is used to study self-assembled layer-by-layer (LbL) poly(allylamine) (PAH) and poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) ...

Uropathogenic strains of Escherichia coli produce virulence factors, such as the protein toxin alpha-hemolysin (HlyA), that enable the bacteria to colonize the host and establish an infection. HlyA is synthetized as a ...

In situ polarization modulation infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy (PM IRRAS) has been used to study layer-by-layer self-assembled films made of a novel redox polymer bearing an osmium pentacyano pyridine complex ...

The control over the molecular architecture of polymeric films can be useful to enhance the properties of polymeric devices. in this paper, poly(o-phenylene vinylene) was spread on the air-water interface in order to form ...

The immobilization of the enzyme tyrosinase (Tyr) in lipid matrices can be explored to produce biosensors for detecting polyphenols, which is relevant for the food industry. Herein, we shall demonstrate the importance of ...

The control of morphology and coating of metal surfaces is essential for a number of organic electronic devices including photovoltaic cells and sensors. In this study, we monitor the functionalization of gold surfaces ...

The molecular mechanisms responsible for protein structural changes in the central nervous system leading to Alzheimer's disease are unknown, but there is evidence that a family of proteins known as septins may be involved. ...

The persistence of steroid hormones disposed of in the environment may pose risks to the health of humans and wildlife, which brings the need of understanding their mode of action, believed to occur in cell membranes. In ...
